Abstract
Disclosed are a method, system, and program product for calling a Common Thread Object from a running process. This is done by comprising invoking a Thread Invocation Object from the running process; creating a Generic Request Object from the Thread Invocation Object and populating the Generic Request Object with Common Thread Object and running process data; and passing data from the Generic Request Object to the Common Thread Object to initiate the common thread task.
Claims18
A method of calling a single thread process from a running process comprising:
- a. invoking a call from the running process;
- b. creating a request container from the call and populating the request container with single thread process and running process data;
- and
- c. passing data from the request container to the single thread process to initiate the common thread process:
A method of calling a single thread object from a running process comprising:
- a. invoking an invocation object from the running process;
- b. creating a request object, populating the request object with single thread object and running process data;
- and
- c. passing data from the request object to the single thread object to initiate the common thread task.
A method of calling a Common Thread Object from a running process comprising:
- a. invoking a Thread Invocation Object from the running process;
- b. creating a Generic Request Object and populating the Generic Request Object with Common Thread Object and running process data;
- and
- c. passing data from the Generic Request Object to the Common Thread Object to initiate the common thread task.
A system comprising at least one computer configured and controlled to run a multi-thread process and a single thread process, and further and controlled to:
- a. invoke a Thread Invocation Object from the running multi-thread process;
- b. create a Generic Request Object and populate the Generic Request Object with Common Thread Object and running process data;
- and
- c. pass data from the Generic Request Object to the Common Thread Object to initiate the common thread task.
A program product comprising computer readable code in a computer usable medium, said computer readable code adapted to configure and control a computer to call a Common Thread Object from a running process by the steps of:
- a. invoking a Thread Invocation Object from the running process;
- b. creating a Generic Request Object and populating the Generic Request Object with Common Thread Object and running process data;
- and
- c. passing data from the Generic Request Object to the Common Thread Object to initiate the common thread task.
